Norwegian health organizations are required to offer circumcision for boys. The law was adopted in 2014. When the law was on consultation, several advocated a trial scheme before the final law was adopted, but the proposal was voted down.

In order to get clarity on the negative and positive consequences of ritual circumcision, Save the Children asked the government for an investigation on 28 November last year.
Save the Children wanted a children's legal impact assessment of the religious custom. They didn't get that.
Minister of Health and Care Ingvild Kjerkol (Ap) flatly rejected such an investigation: "Not in violation of human rights," replied the minister. It took her less than three days to determine that.
